Milky engine oil really common on lpg forklifts. I'm a forklift mechanic. Had rocker covers full of emulsion and oil literally milk shake white and a a good couple of pints of clean water drain out. Propane produces a huge amount of water vapour when it burns so condensation comes through the blowby, couple that with never getting up to full temp and constant hot/cold cycling of the block - stop/start typical for a forklift. And it's a perfect storm. When I service these lifts I don't change the oil anymore, I run the thing flat out for 40mins and like magic all the emulsion disappears and spotlessly clean oil. The problem with just changing oil regularly is you get the water out the oil but not the condensation inside the engine.

@WatchWesWork Forklift radiators are always overkill. They are always pretty toasty under there when working hard with so much confined in a small space. Plus the fan airflow direction isn't optimal - from the floor (like a vacuum cleaner when running around) and over the hot engine/transmission/hydraulic tank before it even reaches the radiator 😂. They also make the rads big enough to allow a significant amount of the core to get blocked with dust/debris before overheating issues occur. I normally recommend people to just start em up and let em idle 1/2hr a week until up to temp and you never get the 'sweaty oil' no one ever does though... 😂
